About this extension
This extension modifies the behavior of YouTube's auto-generated captions to improve readability. By default, YouTube displays auto-generated captions one word at a time as they are spoken. Better YouTube Subtitles intercepts the data stream and reformats the text to display full, complete lines instead.
Features:
Line-by-Line Rendering: Accumulates words into full lines before displaying them, removing the default scrolling/typing effect.
Native Integration: Injects formatted subtitles directly into the YouTube player's text track system.
Customizable: Supports all standard YouTube caption settings (font size, color, background, opacity) accessible via the player's settings menu.
Privacy: Requires no external permissions or data collection; performs all processing locally within the browser.
